Conner(Superboy)Kent hangs with Krypto and Mon-El in Superman #697. Aside from serving to usher in the big reveal at the end of the issue, it appears that Conner might be foreshadowing his replacing Mon when Mon returns to either the Phantom Zone or the Legion in the near future. Or maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part?

I recall when SNL and Mad TV and other shows used to do fictional previews of TV shows to be 'coming this fall' as a regular thing, and this editorial for the March 2010 issue of Vogue Paris does a similar idea with 'Lady Cops' featuring Brooke Shields, Aaron O'Connell and others shot by Bruce Weber.

Marvel's Rawhide Kid, by artist Steve Rude, one of my favorite comic book artists! Rawhide was retconned by Marvel a few years back to have been comics' first gay male Western hero, and, though not a discouraging word word has been spoken of the concept since, there hasn't really been much mention at all. This could be because Marvel shies away from gay male heroes (see Northstar, perennial background character), or because Westerns just don't sell (Lone Ranger from Dynamite being the exception, I guess), but it was an interesting move nonetheless.In keeping with the Western theme, from Brazil Male Models, this DSquared set, featuring Arian Dalle Laste, Bartolomeo Fasano, Carmen Kass, and Eugen Bauder photographed by Mikael Jansson:
